👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Clean the mussels thoroughly: scrub shells, remove beards (byssus threads), and discard any open mussels that do not close when tapped.
2. In a large pot with a lid, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add finely diced shallots and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer for 1 minute to cook off some alcohol.
4. Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, cover tightly with the lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally.
5. Mussels are cooked when their shells have opened. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
6. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately in deep bowls, ensuring each serving gets plenty of the aromatic broth.
